Apple TV Purchases won't sync to itunes on laptop

Purchased movie on Apple TV and it won't sync to itunes on Laptop.
Library is setup - done
Please help

We are struggling with the same issue. Just to be clear - this is only happening with movies which has me thinking it's a size/timeout issue. It syncs podcasts and music purchased from iTunes to ATV so I know the sync process is working. Then it says "Syncing Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (that's the movie we purchased) and it stops only after a few seconds of attempting. We have moved the ATV back to our office and connected it directly into our time capsule network source to see if load was issue with the wireless but this did not improve the situation at all. (as stated in your post - our movie is greyed out as well) I'm thinking we will end up having to delete and re-purchase (which is terrible but at least it's only one movie) on our actual computer and just never do a purchase via ATV again.
If anyone has any suggestions before we do of other things we could try - please let us know.

  • Apple TV 1G won't sync with iTunes 10.2.1

    My 1st generation AppleTV stopped syncing properly after updating iTunes 10.1.2 to 10.2.1. Now I just get an endless spinning sync icon. Anyone else?

    Macbook Pro
    Leopard 10.6.7
    ATV1 & ATV2 
    ATT U-verse Router 3800HGV-B
    I have ATV1 and ATV2 and I experienced the same problem. I was syncing on the ATV1 and streatmin on ATV2. Both went out after updating to itunes 10.
    First I downgraded to iTunes 9 and it worked but then I had to downgrade all my iphones as well. So I upgraded back to 10 and the problem went awat-- then came back knocking ou tboth ATV's.
    After days of reading posts, I came upon a simple answer.
    1. Close itunes
    2. Turn off Mac Firewall
    3. Reboot Routher Broadband (physically or from computer)
    4. Set ATV's to factory reset
    5. After router comes back. turn on itunes
    6. Connect ATV to itunes by sync or stream by code.
    7. Re-register (don't know if necessary but I did it)
    That's it I am back and everything's working OK.
    If this happens again, I will check broadband lights forst then reset router before thinking ATV or itunes is the problem.
    Also if you worry about firewall just get Little Snitch. it's great.

    You cannot merge Apple ID accounts, that has never been supported.
    You can contact the Apple ID Security folks per the listing in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and they can help reset security questions and get the account working.

  • I replaced my HD in my iMac, now my Apple TV (1 gen) won't sync with iTunes, I turned on sharing on iTunes now iTunes wants to stream everything to my Apple TV. I can not longer manually run sync in iTunes?

    I replaced my HD in my iMac, now my Apple TV (gen 1) won't sync with iTunes, it does not even show up in the device section of iTunes.  I turned on sharing in iTunes now my Apple TV shows up in iTunes device section and when I click on it iTunes shows me a streaming sync page as if my Apple TV were a gen 2 unit.  ITunes  wants to stream everything to my Apple TV. I no longer can manually sync my iTunes with my Apple TV.   In the Apple TV menu when I select computers Apple TV shows me my old hard drive with a lock next to it, when I click on it I get a warning that if I continue I will erase the entire Apple TV.  Do I need to erase the AppleTV and start from an emty Apple TV HD?

    you have to go to your atv's settings and remove the sync setup with the in the atvs eyes "old" computer
    before you can add the "new" computer as a sync computer
    an atv can only be set to sync with 1 and it don't know the "old" computer is not just off

  • Had to reset Ipad to factory settings, now Ipad won't sync to Itunes and apps that aren't factory installed will not open. Is there anything I can do?

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help. There was something wrong with my Ipad so I had to reset it back to the factory settings. Now the Ipad won't sync to Itunes and only factory installed apps will open. Does this mean that this Ipad is DOA and it is time for a new one? Or is there anything else I can do?  It is a 1st generation Ipad.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    if all that does not work you can always try to do a recovery mode restore back to factory settings and then set it up as a new device then try to redownlaod every thing again

  • What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.

    What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g?  iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
    It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6.  Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
    When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether.  Is there a  way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?

  • IPod won't sync to iTunes - Please help! Tried everything

    My iPod won't sync to iTunes. I pug it into the computer, the computer recognizes the device. It automatically opens iTunes once it's plugged in. I was able to system restore via iTunes when the iPod was connected and it wiped the iPod. But when I hit sync it doesn't sync. When I hit the sync button for about 5 seconds the wheel will rotate on the iPod screen and say "syncing" but nothing happens on the iTunes side, (you know normally when your iPod is syncing at the top of the iTunes window it will say "syncing" and you can see the process happening as it quickly runs through the new music it is uploading, this doesn't happen.) I tried restarting the iPod and the computer, system reset, I checked in the control panel to make sure the apple device was started, (which it was,) and even bought a new sync cord to be sure. Nothing. Any ideas?

    I was running into the same/similar problem. Is this a new computer but old ipod?  In other words, does your ipod contain music from a previous pc?  If so, that might be the problem.  I bought a new pc and adequately transferred my music from old pc to new pc.  My itunes library on new pc was where I wanted it to be.  But when I tried to sync my ipod later, it wouldn't sync.  Would stop at first step like yours was doing. 
    If this is the case with you, open your ipod information on itunes.  It will automatically be on "Summary".  Click on "Music".  You will see a box labeled "Sync Music".  Click on that box.  Then you have the option of checking "Entire Music Library" or "Selected playlists.....".  I chose entire library.  When you sync, it will warn you that you will be erasing contents of ipod and replacing with contents of this itunes library.  Like I said, my library was good.  So I chose ok.  It synced fine after that.

  • My ipod classic 120GB won't sync to itunes

    I have updated itunes and un-installed and re-installed it multiple times but I've had no luck. I have deleted all the content off of my ipod but it still won't sync to itunes, any help please? I have spent hours trying to find a solution but I feel as if I should give up now, has anyone got any advice?

    You iPod looks ok, except for the Pending Sector of 8,  and the high Start Stop numbers.
    What is the iPod Software as shown in the Itunes summary page in your Mac?
    My Suggestions
    Try the Hard Reset first, it worked for some people,
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Disconnect the iPod from the Mac
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
    Then try to connect and see it iTunes recognised it.
    Also note that when you sync an iPod, do connect it directly to the body of the Mac, and not via any USB Hub or the keyboard USB hub. Also do not use any other USB devices.
    Good Luck!

    I tried to restore my ipod touch 2nd generation  and now it won't sync to itunes.    On the screen is the USB end of the cord and the iTunes logo over it.
    I have turned it off and on,  held the off button down and  the select button down but it still comes up with that picture on the screen.    Have I broken it?

    It means the device is in recovery mode.  You'll need to reconnect it to iTunes and restore it again.
    You may need to connect it in recovery mode manually using the instructions in this Apple support document.

  • I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd gen and while it is recognized by my laptop with Win 8.1, it won't sync with iTunes.  It worked fine while my laptop had Win 8 but after the update, it quit syncing.  Strange though, I downloaded an app directly to my iPod and when I connected it to my laptop again (for recharging if nothing else), iTunes updated itself by including the new app.  I also tried syncing wirelessly.  Also unsuccessful.  I'm about ready to change to an alternate to iTunes if I can't get this situation fixed.  Anyone else have this problem and/or a solution?

  • IPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4

    iPod Nano 6th gen won't sync with iTunes 12.1.1.4.
    This iPod was synced with another iTunes library. I had to transfer iTunes library from another laptop.
    Launch iTunes (12.1.1.4), plug in Nano, Nano display says connected, Nano appears in iTunes, but when I attempt to navigate to Nano nothing occurs, or if I am able to navigate to Nano then I can't go any further and select music to sync and the Nano comes out of connected state. I have had to close iTunes, sometimes reboot laptop, but nothing I do appears to make any difference. It won't allow me to continue music selection process and start the sync process. Is there a way to simply reset the Nano and reconnect to get it to sync? I don't care about content as it needs to be resynced with this iteration of iTunes because it is currently associated with the other iTunes library.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What solved my problem:
    I restored my iPod nano on my wife's PC, which had version 11 of iTunes. I was then able to sync it on my PC. Why didn't I restore it on my PC? See following details.
    Additional details:
    I first took the iPod to the local Apple Store, where the only course of action they could offer was to restore the iPod. So they did. When I got home, it wouldn't even connect to iTunes on my PC, which was a regression from the day before. Out of desperation I plugged it into my wife's PC, and her older version of iTunes immediately told me the iPod had been formatted on a Mac and it needed to be restored on a PC to be usable by a Windows machine. Why my newer version of iTunes couldn't tell me that is a mystery.
